Big Vietnamese Cobra Pit Placeholder for ICM 32nd Scale AH-1G x3 Build

[Sharkmouth]

I plan to drop in once in a while for these three Cobras. Click images to go to project page.

Early conversion subject is AH-1G 66-15273 AH-1G D Troop, 1st Squadron, 10th Cavalry Regiment


Mid is AH-1G The Great Spekled Bird 67-15798 C Troop 16 Cav which is unique in having the 20mm M35 gun, minigun pod as counterbalance and twin miniguns in the M28 turret


This is our friend, AH-1G 68-15012, #1 De Me Mi, with the Centaur added.

Well, my third choice, #1 Du Me Mi, will be replaced by our own Gary's ride: The Henchman II 67-15567:

The decal sheet supposedly for this ship is on its way to me (ASK32019 Kentaur (sic)Pt. 2)

Why the change? @centaur567 pointed out that The Henchman II had a tongue (not included in the sheet).

Note that the sheet has the artwork for AH-1G #67-15827. “The Henchman" D troop 3/4 Cav 1970. Piloted by CW2 Thomas Olssen and maintained by Gary.

This is a blow up of the image you posted. It's a little blurry, but it shows the location. Gary S.

Too bad you might not have the original. The cropped image is tiny and blowing it up I get this... but we do have the earlier rendition for colors so I simply need to adapt to te shape of the second rendition.

To all, @centaur567, built his own chopper and it is sublime! I will be using it for reference! Hopefully Gary, you don't mind my posting your 1/48th scale kit bash!
